Productivity On The Go!

A famous quote by Marshall McLuhan says “We shape our tools and afterwards our tools shape us”. Microsoft has finally taken off the wraps off their shiny Outlook android which since January 2015 has been in “preview” mode. The development of the Outlook android app is definitely a big deal in an age of the “mobile office”. The question is, are you going to carry your work email on your mobile device?”

Microsoft Outlook, launched 2007 is Microsoft flagship email client which has largest market share globally. Outlook over the years has become associated as the most reliable desktop-based business email management client on the market. Fast-forward almost 10 years on, Outlook is now available for use on mobile devices. Granted that there are third party app developers who have already made available competitive mobile email clients widely available, Outlook still the software platform of choice in email management.

I have personally tried out alternative email client software, ranging from Thunderbird to Evolution and I must say, I found the user experience to be absolutely shocking. I personally think Outlook is still the best email management software on the market. The Outlook for Android app is free and runs on Android 4.0 and above. It’s available in all markets supported by the Google Play Store.

So if you want to access your work email on the go, I recommend you try out the new Outlook mobile app.
